FULL TIME: Chelsea 1-2 Paris Saint-Germain (agg 2-4)

And that’s that! The champions of France see off the champions of England. PSG put Chelsea out for the second year running, and they’re into the hat for the quarter finals. In truth, they were the better side in both legs, though Chelsea kept it competitive deep into this second match. Guus Hiddink warmly congratulates his opposite number Laurent Blanc, as PSG gambol across to their fans in celebration. We’d usually say “ah well, there’s always next year” at this point, but for once Chelsea are struggling to qualify for the big one. Having said that, they’re one of the form teams in the Premier League, so that route’s not closed yet. And hey, there’s always the FA Cup.

90 min: A free kick for Chelsea out on the right. The home heroes load the box. Willian whips into the mixer. A late consolation? Nope. Ivanovic elbows Motta in the side, and the Chelsea captain is booked for his sauce.

85 min: Traore has a whack from distance, but Trapp gathers easily. Meanwhile hep cat Wilson Beuys has only just stopped listening to the half-time entertainment: “If you’re going to do Paris, you should use MC Solaar’s version, you old traditionalist.”

80 min: Di Maria slips a ball down the left to release Maxwell. It’s nearly a carbon copy of PSG’s second, a low fizzing cross met by Ibrahimovic in the six-yard box. But the big man can’t quite connect properly, and the ball squirts to the feet of Courtois, who can clear his lines. Chelsea are almost certainly out; they don’t want to suffer an embarrassing scoreline as well. That was a little too easy for Paris. Just another ten minutes to hold it together.

78 min: Lucas is replaced by Javier Pastore. Willian, excellent all night as usual, turns the jets on down the left and earns Chelsea another corner. This one’s pretty poor too, Thiago Silva clearing easily, under no pressure.

77 min: Hazard twists and turns on the left, earning a corner off Marquinhos. Fine play. A goal now, and you never know. Hazard doesn’t want a part of any comeback, though; he points down at his legs, wincing, and asks to come off. Chelsea waste their corner, then Hazard departs, Oscar taking his place.
